"My grandfather used to make these all the time. They are like potato chips, you can't eat just one! Prep time includes the soaking after cooking. I do not include the salt."

With just one exception, I followed this recipe right on down, though I used not quite as much of the Tabasco sauce as indicated! Still, they were not enough for us & next time I'd like to double or triple the recipe & include them on the next finger food counter I set up for a monthly group that I host ~ They'd love 'em, too!

OMG, what a recipe! Thanks for sharing. My husband is a big fan of pecans. Delicious. Going to try mixing in walnuts for me, I'm not really a fan of pecans.

If I could give half a star, I would. Way too greasy, cut butter in half. Way too salty. Don't add any extra. Soy sauce? Try teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce instead. Add a sprinkle of garlic powder. Pecans are so naturally sweet and delicately flavored, why bury them in a greasy, salty mess? I'm from Arkansas and we'd never abuse a pecan like this.
